Roux Office Spotlight: Massachusetts
Roux’s Massachusetts office was established in 1995, remaining one of our longest-standing offices. Woburn, Massachusetts, where our office was based for decades, was home to Roux’s first project—the Industri-Plex Superfund Site—where we provided environmental monitoring and remediation support services. After years of remediation, this Site that was once deemed the fifth most hazardous waste site in the nation by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has been renovated into a thriving center for transportation, retail, offices, and hotels.
Our current office in Burlington, Massachusetts, a short distance from Boston, employs about 40 environmental professionals with diverse technical backgrounds, ranging from human health risk experts to real estate and industrial compliance specialists. Our Massachusetts office services the Real Estate, Energy, Insurance, Industrial, Litigation, and Public sectors. Check out some of our essential members of the Massachusetts office below.
